Hi will be doing cs38 soon. What knots n techniques will a be learning?? As I have not climbed before.

[detritus21]

Knots - bowline with stopper knot

hitches - prussic and blakes

3 knot system - blakes hitch on end of rope

you will also learn 3 or 4 different aerial rescues

Don't worry I had never climbed before I did mine. They'll cover everything that you need for the assessment and will start from scratch, so it won't be a problem.

Cheers I am looking forward to getting up tree.

Double bowline

English prussik or Blake's hitch

 

For Ariel rescue

Timber hitch

Munters hitch

 

It's handy to already know the knots or at least the climbing knots as it's one less thing to think about. And gives your head room to take in other information on the day

 

( from what I can remember )
